For those of you still looking for Christmas gifts: how about introducing RPN to some new folks? WP 31S is designed as an easy entry sci/tech calc. Employing it we could lower the average age of RPN aficionados significantly. It's on sale at http://commerce.hpcalc.org/31s.php. And very soon, a perfect bound printed manual will be available, printed in the USA.

Now the printed manual is available here for your individual direct orders - no more waiting lists.

These manuals will be printed in the USA and shipped from there. Depending on your address this may be beneficial for you or not .

This print shop offers shipping in three variants: "standard", "expedited", and "priority". They correlate with speed but aren't explained furtheron. Overseas "standard" shippings seem to be delivered by very old steam boats. Assuming airplanes employed for "expedited" and "priority" (looks like biplanes though), I don't get why there's a significant speed difference between them. According to my observations, first class passengers reach the airport the same time as economy class on the same plane. Maybe somebody from the USA is able to explain the system.

These manuals are "perfect bound". Please note this is neither spiral bound (not available there, sorry) nor perfectly bound but good old paperback. Should look like the WP 34S v3.2 manual but with matte cover and a smaller footprint.

Page size changed to 6" x 9" since this printer has no idea of ISO A5. Page contents, however, remain almost as distributed with the spiral bound edition (there were a few obvious errors I did correct and three minor updates I included).

It would be nice to have both of them in the same type.

The spiral bound has the advantage, that you can leave it open on the table, when using the calculator with at least one hand. This was the reason for HP always to use spiral bound manuals.

I would pay more for the spiral manual if available.

There won't be a spiral bound manual from my side unless a group of 20 people wants them. For the time being, you can get an updated paperback manual for the WP 31S here. Quality of the interior matches the spiral bound manuals distributed earlier.
